“Double up” - NAPIER

Double Up brings twice the laughs with two Pacific comedy heavyweights! 'Opeti Vaka, of Tongan and Māori descent, kicks off with sharp, brainy humor, blending life stories and clever takes on race relations in New Zealand.

Then Richie Fa’avesi, of Samoan and Cook Island heritage, takes the stage with his unique brand of raw, filthy humor—so brilliantly crafted, you’ve never seen anything like it. Two distinct styles, one unforgettable night—get ready to laugh until you piss your pants!
